Monero is the reference implementation of the Monero (XMR) privacy-focused cryptocurrency, including the full node daemon (monerod), wallet software, and mining tools, written in C++. It provides confidential, untraceable transactions by default using stealth addresses, ring signatures, and RingCT on a decentralized peer-to-peer blockchain.
Use cases
- run a monero full node
- send and receive private cryptocurrency payments
- mine monero
- accept XMR payments for a merchant service
- build a service that integrates with the monero network
- run a monero node over Tor
- prune blockchain storage to save disk space
When to choose
- you need a decentralized cryptocurrency with strong default privacy and fungibility
- you want to self-host a full node or wallet you control
- you are building payment integrations on the Monero network
- you need censorship-resistant, untraceable transactions
When to avoid
- you need a transparent, auditable blockchain for compliance or accounting
- you want smart contract or DeFi functionality
- you need a lightweight wallet without syncing a blockchain and prefer third-party services
- your jurisdiction prohibits privacy coins
